I have a better question, why are you allowing your users to log onto the server console at all?? By default users are not allowed to log onto the server locally...and for many good reasons.....one of which you just discovered. Darned inconvenient in the middle of the day isn't it!?

As to who rebooted it, if you have auditing for successful logon/off enabled check the Event Viewer and find where it was rebooted and make note of the date/time and then search for who logged on locally to the server just prior to that reboot and you'll have your culprit.
Still, in the long run it's better to not give your users direct access to the server for the obvious reason....this won't happen again!

Are you sure it was a user-induced reboot, not a server crash? If you have it set to automatically reboot when the system halts, it might be something more serious, and would hate to have you on a manhunt for a nonexistant culprit instead of fixing a problem that could be getting worse...

I had booting problems once. The thing is that the client computers had encountered a worm which caused the anoying RPC error shutdown. This in turn got passed on and started to shutdown the server. Try virus checking and installing all the latest patches first.
